Fishing is one thing that we always look forward to every time we visit Norway. We’ve been praying and hoping for nice weather so we can experience it again before we go back to the Philippines. Fishing in Norway is just a normal thing, you can fish all year round but the best time to fish is from March to October. But it doesn’t mean that you can catch fish every day because you have to consider the weather.
I mentioned before that since April 30, it’s been snowing, and raining and if the sun is out, it is still not good for fishing because it is windy. After three weeks of waiting we finally had our chance, thank God for giving us good weather. So after my mom’s work, we prepared for our fishing adventure.
I remember two years ago, it was so cold and we were wearing overall dress, scarf, bonnet, and gloves. But now, the weather is fine, it is neither cold nor hot so my son and I enjoy fishing. We started sailing at 5PM in Trondheim Fjord which is part of Trøndelag. Trøndelag is situated in the middle part of Norway and it is popular for fishing because they have a lot of lakes, streams, and rivers. You can do both saltwater and freshwater fishing.

After a few minutes of sailing, we stopped and started fishing. I was surprised when my fishing rod became heavy. Yey, I caught my first fish but unfortunately, we let it go because it is still small. But I guess, it was our lucky day because in just one hour my son and I caught 13 fish. I caught 7 Haddock fish and my son caught 6 fish.
My son was happy because he caught the two big fish which are Cod and Pollock. Two years ago, he was so sad because he did not catch any fish but now he is so proud of all the fish that he caught. We caught Haddock, Cod, and Pollock fishes and we’re going to eat the codfish later.
Haddock - It is a bottom-feeder fish that is commonly found in the North Atlantic Ocean or Northern Europe. It is usually found at 40-300 meters deep. It has a large black spot under the pectoral fin. We caught 12 Haddock fish.
Norwegian Pollock - This fish is common on the Trøndelag coast and it can weigh up to 10 kilos. My son caught around 5-6 kgs of Pollack fish. It is so big and heavy na nahirapan kami iangat.
Cod - Atlantic cod is the most common saltwater fish that lives in colder water and deeper sea so it is not surprising that we always catch this fish every fishing experience. It is popular as a food, you can grill, bake or fry this fish.
We stopped fishing after an hour because it is time for dinner. Seagulls are very happy, they are eating the internal organs of the fish. We left the seaport at 7PM after cleaning the fish, boat, and other fishing stuff.

DeleteI haven't tried fishing yet but the hubby likes to try it daw. So I guess we're gonna be going on a fishing trip real soon.
ReplyDeleteGo, you will enjoy it for sure!
DeleteI've always wondered about fishing hooks, don't they already pierce through the throat of the fish? so will they still live if you let them go?
ReplyDeleteThroat is not affected so we can release it. Actually, kasing laki na nga ng bangus yung fish na nabibili kaso sa kanila, too small pa. Hehehe!
